Important Recovery Question -- please help!

[shardik1000]

I am a seventeen year old male, 5'7'', 130 pound, and looking to gain mass. I train quite intensely, and I know that post-workout nutrition is crucial to muscle growth.

Note: I am fatally allergic to milk/whey/casein protein.

My question is this: I work out from 4:00 to 5:15 p.m., and have dinner at around 6:30-7:00. Which is a better recovery meal:
A: 200 cal white bread bagel , bout 45-50 g carbs.
105 cal egg white ; 21 g protein


B) 200 cal pure grape juice.
105 cal egg white or powdered soy protein ; 21-25 g protein.

Would it make a difference? I know bagels are high-GI carbs, but would they be better or worse than the pure sugar of grape juice?
Thanks. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

if you want to cut fat, eliminate all carbs. if you want to gain mass, always choose solid food over liquid.

honey and l-glutamine. 50-70g honey, 10-20g glutamine and water.

you should actually choose liquid foods if you're having trouble getting enough calories...

I agree completely; honey is one of the best post-workout source of carbs. It keeps a high and steady blood sugar. I usually take in a Gatorade on my way home then mix 35g of whey with 50g of honey.
I watch myself grow while drinking it

Straight after your workout, down grape juice and some simple carbs like a pear etc. Raising your glycogen levels.
The optimum time for a good protein meal is 1 hour after your workout!!
